We can end malaria, not someday, but in our lifetime.
For the first time, that's not ambition. It's real. Science is advancing faster than ever. New vaccines, treatments, mosquito control tools and pioneering technologies, including gene drive, are in development. Already, 25 countries are rolling out malaria vaccines to protect 10 million children a year. Next-generation mosquito nets now make up 84% of all new nets distributed.
Nationally-led programmes are driving change.
But malaria doesn't wait. When funding falls, it comes back fast, killing hundreds of thousands more children and reversing hard-won gains.
The possibility has never been greater. And neither has the cost of letting it slip. This World Malaria Day: Grasp the moment. Protect lives now. Fund a malaria-free future.
Now We Can. Now We Must.
